then after Reagan took office, they came out with the Typhoon class submarine, the biggest submarine in history loaded with more destructive power that any one platform in history, they made a movie about that sub, you might have seen it?
It wasn't ending, it was escalating.
You may not agree with how he did it, but the fact stands, he did it and the cold war was over. I was in the Navy in the middle of it and I knew far more than you can look up on the internet and I'm glad it's over......

Talk about picking and choosing........ did you read what you wrote?
What I did was tell you that the Soviets were bankrupt before Reagan started spending. The game was over for them BEFORE Reagan did a damn thing.
So what did Reagan actually do? He bankrupted America, end of story, that's ALL he did.
It is impossible that you knew more back then than we can lookup today... 100000000000% impossible! It's not called the information age for shit and giggles.
